Ōtsutsuki Shibai, Death?

Upon hearing Uchiha Kō's words, Ōtsutsuki Shibai silent, but instead conjured a black sword to stand opposite Uchiha Kō.

From Ōtsutsuki Shibai's perspective, since the power of the Earthly Dao had already been lost and Ōtsutsuki Yu could not be revived, then they should just make the best of a bad situation, as regret would be useless.

The battle ten thousand years ago taught him that hesitation only leads to defeat.

Upon learning of Ōtsutsuki Shibai's will, Uchiha Kō fell silent. He took a deep breath. "The former representative of the Earthly Dao willingly degenerated and abandoned Earthly Dao. Today, with the Earthly Dao above all, I, Uchiha Kō, humbly request to become the representative of the Earthly Dao and contribute to Earthly Dao perfection!"

The power of the Earthly Dao, already hampered by Karmic Sin, was filled with resentment. It was further damaged by the injury inflicted on a woman who was supposed to be dead, which not only harmed the foundation of the earth's power but also compounded the problem.

A Yama, the Underworld, who cannot distinguish between his past and present lives, is not worthy of being recognized by the Earthly Dao.

"Accurate." A voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Immediately afterwards, the black robes on Ōtsutsuki Shibai fell off automatically, and the crown symbolizing the King of Underworld also disappeared. At this moment, his status completely vanished.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai transformed back into the genius he was ten thousand years ago. Sensing the loss of Earthly Dao elemental power, Ōtsutsuki Shibai remained silent and closed his eyes.

Does he regret it? Maybe he does. But is he allowed to regret it now? No.

"Drink! Uchiha Kō, I had no intention of being your enemy, but as you know, I have nothing left now. Yu'er is right beside me, within reach. I'm sorry!" Ōtsutsuki Shibai's eyes hardened.

The next moment, he absorbed the Karmic Sin, causing his chakra to undergo a complete transformation, becoming Karmic Sin chakra!

The pupils of the Heavenly Dao who was possessing Ōtsutsuki Yu shrank. He hadn't expected this guy to be so ruthless, ruthless to his enemies, and even more ruthless to himself!

He knew all too well what this meant: Karmic Sin chakra was a Karmic Sin, constantly eroding and burning the body and soul.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai, from this day forward, will live in constant torment, his entire being engulfed by endless Karmic Sin is exhausted, he will never be able to be reborn!

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although Ōtsutsuki Shibai suffering, his chakra is now second only to the power of destiny in the world.

It can be said that his power has now reached a level where he can briefly fight against the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, and the Human Dao.

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Shibai, wielding a three-foot-long black sword, charged towards Uchiha Kō. He transformed into a black light, vanishing in a flash, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

Uchiha Kō remained calm, saying it was nothing more than a little bit of karmic Karmic Sin.

The power of the Earthly Dao was activated, and the Book of Life and Death appeared, falling into the hands of Uchiha Kō.

Ōtsutsuki Shibai's pupils contracted, then his eyes hardened. He absolutely could not allow Uchiha Kō to unleash the Book of Life and Death. As the previous generation's representative of the Earthly Dao, he knew all too well how powerful the Book of Life and Death was.

His longsword, glowing with black light, pierced the Book of Life and Death. As a result, the White Impermanence reappeared, one wielding Soul-Binding Chain and the other Mourning Staff, restraining Ōtsutsuki Shibai in place!

Upon sensing that the controller of the Earthly Dao had changed and that his master had taken over, Black Impermanence Fan Wujiu immediately rushed to the Underworld, as did White Impermanence Xie Bi'an.

The two had long been dissatisfied with the original Yama King, who was indecisive and held back against his enemies. They were originally brought to this world by Uchiha Kō, so they naturally trusted Uchiha Kō more than others.

If it weren't for Uchiha Kō's trust in Ōtsutsuki Shibai, the two of them wouldn't have come to help, leaving Ōtsutsuki Shibai as a lone commander!

"Well done, Old Black!" White Impermanence gave Black Impermanence a thumbs up, then chuckled and raised his Mourning Staff, aiming it at Ōtsutsuki Shibai's head.

Bang!

Ōtsutsuki Shibai's soul jolted, then he gritted his teeth and looked at White Impermanence with eyes full of anger.

If it weren't for the destruction of his Earthly Dao foundation and the burning of his soul by Karmic Sin, this brat wouldn't have been able to do anything to him!

It's truly a case of a dragon stranded in shallow waters being mocked by shrimp, and a tiger fallen on flat land being bullied by dogs!

Black Impermanence smirked. "The master gave you face before, but you didn't cherish it. Now, you've ended up like this, and it's all your own fault!"

He Soul-Binding Chain with demonic energy, and immediately Ōtsutsuki Shibai felt unable to move. One after another, fierce demons flew out from the chains, suppressing Ōtsutsuki Shibai together.

Uchiha Kō didn't speak, continuing to flip through the Book of Life and Death. Suddenly, he stopped, noticing the name of Ōtsutsuki Shibai written on it.

He looked up at the struggling Ōtsutsuki Shibai and sighed, "Ōtsutsuki Shibai, I didn't want to hurt you. If you agree to leave now, I can spare your life. If there's an opportunity in the future, I can help you revive Ōtsutsuki Yu."

Ōtsutsuki Shibai's struggling body suddenly paused. He heard Uchiha Kō's words, his blood-red eyes looked at Uchiha Kō, and his lips moved as if he was about to speak.

As a result, the Heavenly Dao could no longer sit still, and he controlled the body of Ōtsutsuki Yu to summon the Dao-Breaking Blade.

With one sword pointed at his own heart, he flung the other at Ōtsutsuki Shibai's feet. "Ōtsutsuki Shibai, don't harbor any illusions. I'm giving you two choices: kill Uchiha Kō, or watch as the Dao-Breaking Blade destroys Ōtsutsuki Yu's spirit and body."

After speaking, Heavenly Dao looked at Ōtsutsuki Shibai with a calm and amused expression. He knew what Ōtsutsuki Shibai would choose. Admittedly, Ōtsutsuki Shibai was very talented and had high comprehension, but unfortunately, he was too soft-hearted.

He would look down on such a person as a teammate, but he would be happy to see him as an enemy. As for his chief of the four guardians, Ōtsutsuki Yu, he was dead, and once Uchiha Kō was killed, the significance of the guardians' existence would not be so important.

A chess piece is just a chess piece. Even if it has outstanding abilities, it is still a chess piece and can be discarded at any time.

Sorry, the Heavenly Dao Way of Heaven is a male-oriented Heavenly Dao, not a female-oriented one.

Uchiha Kō also intended to see what Ōtsutsuki Shibai choose, even though he knew in his heart that Ōtsutsuki Shibai would most likely choose the option of becoming his enemy.

As expected, Ōtsutsuki Shibai slowly squatted down and picked up the dagger beside his feet.

Just as his hand was about to touch the dagger, Uchiha Kō sighed, summoned the Judge's Brush, and infused it with the power of Earthly Dao destiny.

Immediately afterwards, he threw out the Judge's Brush, cut open Ōtsutsuki Shibai's finger, sucked his blood, and the Judge's Brush's Pen turned from black to red before returning to Uchiha Kō's side.

Then, Uchiha Kō picked up the Judge's Brush's Pen and drew a line on Ōtsutsuki Shibai's name.

A terrifying scene unfolded: Ōtsutsuki Shibai's hand was about to touch the dagger, but just as he clenched his fist, his figure suddenly blurred.

Although he was surprised, something suddenly occurred to him, and the corners of his mouth turned up. "Finally, I'm free."

After he finished speaking, he no longer cared about the threat from the Heavenly Dao. Instead, he stood up straight, looked at Uchiha Kō, and said, "Fellow villager, I'm sorry that my selfishness has caused you trouble."

Uchiha Kō didn't reply to him, but instead put his hands behind his back and looked at the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao gritted his teeth and looked at Uchiha Kō's hand. To be precise, he was staring at the Book of Life and Death, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart. He didn't care about Ōtsutsuki Shibai's death, nor did he care whether he, as the protector, could escape.

His thoughts were, "[This thing can actually decide life and death with a single stroke! Damn it! Why are the weapons from the Earthly Dao so powerful!]"

Uchiha Kō closed his eyes and said, "Shibai, don't worry, I'll have her go with you soon. Go in peace."

After saying this, Ōtsutsuki Shibai's body faded, and then a gust of cold wind blew by, turning Ōtsutsuki Shibai into dust and disappearing forever into the Underworld.

When the Heavenly Dao came to its senses, it controlled the Ōtsutsuki Yu, a smile playing on its lips, and the male and female voices rang out again. "Uchiha Kō, just what kind of person are you, that you would actually kill your fellow countryman?"

His eyes narrowed. He had originally thought he had a high chance of winning against Uchiha Kō in the future, but after seeing Uchiha Kō's performance now, he was no longer sure.

"Oh? I didn't kill them. Future generations will record it. Heavenly Dao is ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs, and it killed the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who were hailed as the last hope of the Ōtsutsuki Clan ten thousand years ago." Uchiha Kō said calmly.

Heavenly Dao's lips twitched. "You really are shameless!"

"Face? History is written by the victors. Having experienced a war against the heavens, you should understand this principle. Besides, wasn't it you who forced him to his death?" Uchiha Kō said expressionlessly, his voice icy cold.

The Heavenly Dao remained silent. "Then this body..." He didn't say more, but looked at Uchiha Kō.

Uchiha Kō said, "Stay here. In my Underworld, even if you come in person, you will be suppressed. If I don't want you to let me go, you can't take me away."

The Heavenly Dao gritted his teeth. He wanted to take away this Pathbreaker body, but Uchiha Kō hadn't lied. So his soul left Ōtsutsuki Yu, releasing him from all control over her.

To avoid damaging Uchiha Kō's soul when he makes a move later.

But a voice came from the horizon. "Uchiha Kō, I look forward to our final showdown!"

This voice resounded Underworld, throughout the Ninja World, and throughout the entire universe.

Uchiha Kō coldly looked up at the sky, then snorted, before turning to look at Ōtsutsuki Yu.

Ōtsutsuki Yu was kneeling on the ground, her body limp, her eyes filled with tears. After the Heavenly Dao left her body, her true self had awakened.

Combined with what had just happened, she knew that Ōtsutsuki Shibai was dead.

She didn't know what to do! She looked at Uchiha Kō with fear, awe, dread, and hatred in her eyes.

After blocking out the Underworld, Uchiha Kō spoke, "Aren't you coming out?"

Ōtsutsuki Yu was stunned. She pointed to herself and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

However, the next second, Ōtsutsuki Shibai's body, which had just been scattered by the wind, reformed and solidified.

Ōtsutsuki Yu, then abruptly stood up and looked at Ōtsutsuki Shibai with a puzzled expression. "Shibai, aren't you...?"

Ōtsutsuki Shibai smiled and hugged Ōtsutsuki Yu: "I'm alright."

Uchiha Kō clicked his tongue. "I killed you once earlier to cleanse your Karmic Sin, but judging from your performance this time, brother, I'll leave this Earthly Dao to you."

Ōtsutsuki Shibai: "That's how it should be." Then he took Ōtsutsuki Yu's hand, smiled, and left.
