Pathetic!” The white fiend pressed its advantage, its entire body blazing with white-gold light once more, “Next move—I’ll take your life! White Tiger Tearing Heaven Claw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It crossed its claws and slashed forward with explosive force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten razor-sharp white-gold claw waves, condensed to the extreme and seeming capable of rending heaven and earth, sealed off every possible escape route for Cui Jue as they surged toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The piercing intent made Cui Jue’s skin ache with icy pain, his soul trembling in terror!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a deathblow—elemental suppression, overwhelming power, and speed that locked all escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human camp erupted in desperate cries; everyone seemed to already see Cui Jue torn into shreds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia stepped forward sharply, his Sharingan spinning wildly, barely holding back the urge to intervene!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, at this very moment of life and death, Cui Jue’s pale face broke into a strange, resolute smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the approaching Tearing Heaven Claw beams, his eyes holding no fear—only… release and madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi think… my limit ends here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi think… elemental suppression means absolute victory?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Fiend, do Itachi know what lies beneath the Nine Heavens, at the very end of the Yellow Springs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s voice grew ethereal and sinister; he stopped retreating and instead opened his arms, as if embracing the deathly clawwaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bit down hard on his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of essence blood infused with his life-soul energy, merging it into the surrounding yin ghost qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he formed an ancient, eerie hand seal—one that seemed to connect directly to the Nine Heavens of Hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With my soul, I offer sacrifice to the Nine Heavens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With my blood, I summon the Yellow Springs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Underworld Forbidden Technique”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nine—Heavens—Return—Emptiness—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Mortal God Altar—no, the entire heavens and earth—seemed to darken! An aura of death, a hundred times denser and a thousand times deeper than before, erupted violently from Cui Jue’s body and the void beneath his feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer an illusionary Yellow Spring Path—this was as if the entrance to the Nine Heavens of Hell had truly been torn open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless death qi, resentment qi, and filth qi gushed forth like a geyser; the arena instantly transformed into an absolute domain of death—the Realm of Return to Emptiness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten piercing White Tiger Tearing Heaven Claw waves, upon entering this Realm of Return to Emptiness, slowed abruptly, their light dimming rapidly; the immense demonic power and murderous intent within them were violently eroded, broken down, and assimilated by the boundless death qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they vanished into the deep darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white fiend’s cruel grin froze; for the first time, its golden pupils widened in disbelief and horror. “This… what power is this?! How is this possible?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt its connection to the Tearing Heaven Claw waves severed forcibly—and worse, its own white-gold aura was being rapidly suppressed beneath the Realm of Return to Emptiness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That supreme yang, ruthless killing aura had met its innate antithesis, growing weak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible?! A frog in a well—how could Itachi wield Nine Heavens power?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s figure flickered in and out of the thick death qi; his voice echoed from ancient, abyssal depths, cold and lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Tiger governs killing; geng metal overcomes wood. But death—the end of all things—is the final destination of every living being! No matter how fierce your killing, how sharp your geng metal, Itachi shall all return to silence, dissolve into nothingness!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Nine Heavens Return to Emptiness draws upon the most primordial force of annihilation in this universe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your killing, your geng metal—before this force of finality—are but floating weeds, mirages, illusions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s voice was indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine Heavens Return to Emptiness was a forbidden technique that touched upon the Law of Finality—the cost: the user’s entire life and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense! I am a descendant of White Tiger, born of the western geng metal, master of killing—how could I be defeated by your yin death force?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white fiend roared in furious disbelief, unable to accept being suppressed by an opponent it had dominated through elemental advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It furiously pushed its White Tiger bloodline to its limit, forcing its white-gold aura to erupt once more, attempting to shatter the bonds of the Return to Emptiness domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Geng Metal Imperishable Body!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Killing Domain—Awaken!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It transformed into a divine entity of pure geng metal qi, its massive killing domain forcibly carving out a white-gold kingdom within the Return to Emptiness, clashing violently with the endless death qi, annihilating and being annihilated in turn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Futile struggle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s voice, weary yet colder still, spoke: “Beneath the Return to Emptiness, all things are equal. Your struggle only hastens your… death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and pointed gently at the white fiend, roaring and thrashing within the white-gold domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Return to Emptiness… Soul Ferry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Return to Emptiness, the boundless death qi responded instantly, coalescing into countless gray-black chains—like tentacles from the Nine Heavens—ignoring the white fiend’s killing domain and Imperishable Body, wrapping directly around its soul’s core!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aghhh—!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white fiend shrieked in unbearable agony! These chains were no physical attack—they struck directly at its soul and life essence! It felt its soul being violently torn from its body, its vitality draining rapidly; its proud White Tiger bloodline and killing will, before this primordial death law, appeared pathetically feeble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! I am White Tiger! I am Lord of Killing! I will not die!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white fiend thrashed wildly, clawing at the gray-black chains—but the chains clung like parasitic leeches; each broken link was instantly replaced by more, binding its soul tighter and tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its once brilliant white-gold body began to dim, its fur losing luster, its muscles withering, the light in its golden eyes slowly extinguishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s condition was equally dire. The use of Nine Heavens Return to Emptiness was withering his body at visible speed—his skin wrinkled, his hair turned instantly white, his aura reduced to a flickering candle in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His life and soul were burning as fuel to sustain this terrifying Return to Emptiness domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed at the white fiend, writhing in chains, its vitality fading, and on his aged face appeared a calm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Yellow Spring Path is long… White Fiend, I… will see Itachi on your way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his last strength, he slammed his hands together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nine Heavens… Close!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Return to Emptiness domain collapsed inward violently; the struggling white fiend was forcibly compressed and dragged toward the ultimate void—the core of the Nine Heavens Return to Emptiness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—!! Human race!! Underworld!! My clan… will not forgive Itachi—!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white fiend let out its final roar, filled with endless hatred and defiance—then its form was utterly swallowed by the boundless darkness, its voice cut off abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Return to Emptiness domain slowly dissipated, the arena returned to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue hunched over, leaning on a staff formed of yin qi, his white hair withered, his face covered in age spots, his aura so faint it seemed ready to vanish at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite him, the white fiend’s form had vanished entirely—not a trace remained, as if it had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mutual Annihilation!\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6e7cb1835704a37b937b29e978244427198298119dd8fe13f42e30a749c50ad3","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-144","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-142",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
