Within a boundless pool of blood, a giant tower rumbled as it slowly rose into the sky.

Gu Qing Shan only felt swift spatial fluctuations around him before being transported to the top of the tower.

At this time, several dead people who exuded immense presence were already gathered here.

Each of them had occupied a position for themselves, unabashedly evaluating and gauging the strength of the others.

Gu Qing Shan also chose an unoccupied corner and silently waited.

Several lines of bloody red text swiftly appeared in the air:

[The competition for the Devil King position has started]

[You’ve joined the battle for candidacy of the Skinning Hell]

[Attention: During this occasion, the Devil King Warden Rod is in hosting the competition in the true Hell, so the rules will be different compared to before]

Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.

My home world only contained a fragment of the Samsara.

But now, the competition for the Devil Kingposition is being held for the 18 layers ofHell of the entire Samsara!

It’s incomparable.

Which means…

He looked around himself.

Only to notice that the dead people gathered here all exuded powerful presences that wouldn’t pale in comparison to cultivators at the Impossibly Unknown realm.

All of them appeared excited and full of expectations-

Becoming the Devil King allows one to command all 18 layers of Hell.

What an immense force that would be!

While Gu Qing Shan was pondering, he felt a bit itchy on his shoulder.

Itchy?

I’m an Impossibly Unknown realm cultivator, my bodys true form is that of the Demon Dragon, why would I suddenly feel itchy?

Feeling surprised, Gu Qing Shan scanned his shoulder with his Inner Sight and found that there was a small boney worm on his shoulder, one that exuded a faint but particular presence.

– -the skull woman’s presence.

In a split second, Gu Qing Shan understood right away.

Earlier on top of the Tie Wei Mountain, the skull woman gave me a push, which was why I arrived at the Skinning Hell.

Could it be…

This boney worm also came here with me at that time?

What is the skull woman trying to express?

Without a change in his expression, Gu Qing Shan grabbed the boney worm and gently held it in his palm.

The worm then began to communicate with him through Inner Sight:

Many powerful Heavenly Beings, Deathly Spirits, Divine Beasts, Wraiths, and Asura of the past have laid in slumber within Hell. Even with your abilities and means, there are no guarantees that you’d be able to triumph and be crowned as the Devil King as fast as possible J

So I will lend you a hand, both you and I will be doing our best for you to achieve the Devil King position before I’m killed, only then would you be able to save everyone and leave the Huang Quan realm

I know that you have many questions, but we must survive first. I’ll tell you the truth later

I’ll hold the door while you’re here competing to become Devil King- J You need to succeed, and fast!

After the boney worm finished saying that, it turned into a ring of bones that curled around his finger.

Gu Qing Shan’s heart jumped.

What does that mean?

Could the skull woman have alreadypredicted the losing outcome of the war?

Then, faking her deathbed twice earlier was done on purpose to deceive the enemy, preparing for when she’s truly on her last breaths to make the enemy indecisive and stall for more time?

It seems… that should be it.

After quickly affirming himself of his conjecture, Gu Qing Shan’s heart no longer sank.

No wonder she wanted to confirm my identity…

Gu Qing Shan slightly clenched his fist.

Regardless, the skull woman is still standing on Shifu’s side.

Then, shés my natural ally.

Furthermore, ifan entity ofherpower wanted to flee, who would be able to stop her?

Most likely, she’s helping me buy time in order to save as many Huang Quan beings as possible.

Right, that should be the case.

Otherwise, she could have just gone ahead and fled already!

Oong- – –

A resounding noise echoed across the entire Skinning Hell, interrupting Gu Qing Shan’s train of thought.

Everyone felt shocked, then instinctively sensed a certain phantom will descending upon this area.

As Gu Qing Shan glanced down, he saw a faint fluctuation radiating from the ring on his finger.

From the void of space, several lines of bloody red text appear one by one:

[The Skinning Hell’s competition has begun]

[This time’s candidacy rules are- –

[As you’re reinforced by the Merit of both a Huang Quan High Deity and Virtuous Deity, you will the allowed to examine the rules ahead of time and include some additional clauses]

[Please immediately read the rules!]

All the text faded away before turning into a different set of text:

[Rules of candidacy for the Skinning Hell: Be the last remaining individual to stand atop the tower (you may add a supplementary condition)]

Scanning through the text, Gu Qing Shan silently shook his head.

This rule- –

There’s no need to make any changes to it at all.

“Let’s save some time and begin right away”

He communicated with the bone ring through his Inner Sight.

With a slight shift of the ring, the skull woman’s voice could be heard together with some intense battle noises:

These people aren’t weak at all, are you sure you want to fight them? That would waste too much time!

“No need, I’ll be very quick” Gu Qing Shan answered through his Inner Sight.

Very well! Jl

The skull woman curtly said and didn’t say anything else.

After a few moments, everyone appeared to have comprehended something.

Become the last remaining individual on the tower… J somebody muttered.

Almost instantly, everyone was engaged in combat!

All of them were using killing blows without hesitation in order to force the others off the tower.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan had already finished his chant and grunted:

“Emerge!”

Clack clack clack clack!

Numerous dead people appeared all over the top of the tower, almost instantly taking up every last bit of space.

It only took the blink of an eye– –

Even while being struck by weapons, spells, fists, or directly sent back into slumber in the River of Death, these dead people all rushed towards the other candidacy competitors without hesitation.

These dead people originated from the River of Death, but they weren’t on the same level as the Seven Sovereigns, perhaps even mostly weaker compared to these competitors-

But there were a lot of them.

Each time a group of dead people was flung outside, another group would appear to replace them, a seemingly endless horde of dead people made it impossible for the other competitors to deal with them all.

Not to mention, the dead people’s job wasn’t to defeat these enemies.

They all risked their un-lives to restrain the competitors’ arms, legs, necks, heads, waists, and everything that could be grabbed; every competitor was being tightly grappled from head to toe by a mass of dead people.

Whenever they manage to fully restrain one target, these dead people would move in unison to jump off the tower while loudly declaring:

—FOR THE GLORY OF THE DEATH GOD! ] J J J

In no time at all, all the competitors had already been pushed off the tower!

And he stood there watching it all unfolded.

There was a particularly muscular Wraith that was thoroughly restrained and unable to move at all, but seemed to possess some sort of ability that allowed it to wrestle against a group of a dozen dead people in a stalemate without falling off.

At this point, Gu Qing Shan moved behind the Wraith and gave it a push with his foot, finally kicking it off the tower.

It was over.

There was only a single individual remaining on the tower.

Gu Qing Shan.

“Alright, work’s done, you can all go back to sleep’

Gu Qing Shan declared.

All the dead people vanished without a trace.

– –they’ve left the competition to go back to slumber within the River of Death.

Gu Qing Shan continued to stand by himself on top of the tower for a while.

An unsatisfied voice called out from outside the tower:

r Since eons ago, Hell has been disconnected from summoners; the spirits that would answer to summons should no longer exist, how are you still able to summon them? J

Gu Qing Shan turned back to see that it was the muscular Wraith that asked.

“My subordinates and I recently arrived here” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Recently arrived? J the Wraith questioned in a confused tone.

Another competitor immediately voiced their complaints: No, I can’t accept this, this is supposed to be a battle between competitors, how can you call so many helpers!?

“That’s right, so many people were called. Just now, there was even a Grand Mage that shamelessly bit my hand and focused on kicking my butt to force me out”

r Somebody even grabbed my… this is absolutely a provocation to Hell’s dignity J

“This isn’t how a battle between Combatants is supposed to go!”

It’s unfair to use a crowd in a fight!

r Referee! J

All the other competitors also called out in rejection.

From the void of space, a mystical fluctuation resonated.

Everyone received a message from the Devil King Warden Rod’s unconscious instincts:

What happens in Hell, stays in Hell J r A Deity of Hell will judge this matter on behalf of the scepter J

Henceforth, summon the Death God of Hell! J

All the competitors appeared glad and settled down to wait.

Looking at them, Gu Qing Shan was a bit hesitant to destroy their good dreams, but as he remembered that he didn’t have much time, he could only clear his throat.

“I hereby declare, all is reasonable” he said.

As the invisible fluctuations from the Devil King Warden Rod received this judgment, it immediately left the Skinning Hell.

Everyone was shocked and instinctively turned towards Gu Qing Shan.

That—–

Can’t be right.

r You—- are the Virtuous Deity of Hell? J the Wraith slowly digested the information and asked.

“That’s right, I can invite you to a vacation within my River of Death—— if you’re willing to serve me”

After saying that, Gu Qing Shan was suddenly taken away by a burst of spatial fluctuations.

He has become the official candidate for the Skinning Hell..
