To simplify the expression \(- (b^{14})^{12}\), you can use the power of a power property in exponents, which states that \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\).

Applying this property:

\[
-(b^{14})^{12} = -b^{14 \cdot 12} = -b^{168}
\]

So, the equivalent expression for \(- (b^{14})^{12}\) is

\[
-b^{168}
\]
