What if I destroy a creature in response to the use of its ability? Instants resolve in reverse order so that would stop the effect, wouldn it?

No. Destroying the card that is the source of an effect never counters the effect, even if the destruction is an interrupt. If you tap a Rod of Ruin to do a point of damage to me and I respond by destroying the Rod with Shatter, the damage is still dealt to me. In the same way, if you tap a Prodigal Sorcerer to do a point of damage to me and I respond by destroying it with Red Elemental Blast, the damage is still dealt.
