As I interepret it, the Rinnegan basically gives Hagoromo the power to make and unmake reality. He can create form from nothing and so forth. Create and destroy.

The purpose behind Hamura's Tenseigan is either to destroy the world to punish mankind (as Toneri believed), or to regenerate the world in the event that mankind destroyed it (Hamura's true intent). Extinction / Regeneration.

Of course, there's so many weird little powers with both that... who knows, really?
