Chapter 834: Omore
At this moment, on the chief spectator platform—
General Eugene of the Free Federation.
Along with the two native generals of the Ten Thousand Demons Continent, Ebotta and Lionel.
Their expressions were extremely grim.
Because as the camera switched perspectives, they finally realized the immense gap between their so-called prodigies and this non-specialist!
Ling Zhan had already reached the fifth floor and was waiting for the seal to unlock.
Meanwhile, these prodigies were still stuck on the third floor.
Worse yet, they couldn't even instantly kill the level 175 Demon Emperors in the third trial!
Hmm…
On any other day, this wouldn't have been a big deal. After all, their levels were about the same.
But now, with a non-specialist as a direct comparison, it was utterly humiliating.
The happiest person at this moment was undoubtedly Elder Su.
This entire Demon-Slaying Trial was essentially staged to establish Ling Zhan's authority.
After all, nobody here had been convinced of Ling Zhan's qualifications as the new chief instructor.
A level 160 non-specialist—on paper, he had absolutely no right to hold the position of chief instructor for the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.
But in this situation, whether they liked it or not, the Demon-Slaying Corps members had to acknowledge his strength.
As long as they weren't blind, they could clearly see how powerful this non-specialist was.
...…
...…
While the outside world was abuzz with discussion—
Inside the Zero Number Abyss Tower—
Ling Zhan had already appeared on the fifth floor.
As he stepped out of the teleportation gate, what greeted him was an incomparably grand and resplendent palace.
The surroundings gleamed with gold and jade, shining brilliantly—a stark contrast to the fourth floor, as different as heaven and earth.
At the center of the palace stood a golden throne, seemingly forged from crimson-gold stone.
Upon the throne—
Sat a towering, muscular man with a pair of black dragon horns on his head.
The man wore a shimmering golden dragon robe, its surface adorned with dragon scales more dazzling than gemstones.
The key detail—
From the types of dragon scales and the aura they emitted, it was clear that their original owners were at least of sub-dragon rank.
Moreover, Ling Zhan could sense the bound dragon souls within the robe, constantly roaring in torment.
And—
When Ling Zhan used the Eye of Appraisal to observe him, he was momentarily taken aback.
[Name: Omore.]
[Talent Value: 100.]
[Age: 562 years.]

[Skills: Path of Dragon Hunting (S), Dragon Slayer's Courage (S), Earth Dragon Trap (B)…]
...…
Good lord!
The fifth floor of the Zero Number Abyss Tower held a human captive!?
This was truly a bit surprising for Ling Zhan.
But he quickly understood why.
The reason was simple—this human emanated an intense aura of Ten Thousand Demons blood.
Not only that, but the level of demonic blood within him was extremely high—he had undoubtedly merged with the blood of a Ten Thousand Demons Sovereign.
As someone possessing the bloodline of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, Ling Zhan could directly sense the demonic power within him.
There was no need for further speculation.
This man was most likely from the Demon Arrival Organization.
Only the Demon Arrival Organization would be so reckless and insane as to forcibly merge their bodies with the blood of the Ten Thousand Demons.
However, it was clear that this man was not just any member—he was definitely a top-ranking leader within the organization.
Despite being only level 185, his base four-dimensional attributes were actually higher than the Merman Emperor's.
If he unleashed his full strength, he could likely rival a level 190 human Professional.
When the spectators outside saw this scene—
They were visibly surprised.
"Omore! Damn! So the fifth-floor guardian for Ling Zhan is this guy!?"
"In my opinion, this guy is way more troublesome than a level 185 Demon Emperor!"
"It's said that Omore was recognized as the next leader of the Demon Arrival Organization. Once the current leader ascends to level 200 and transcends to the higher realm, Omore was supposed to take over as their new master."
"Unfortunately for him, he was either too unlucky or just too arrogant. He was also a lunatic obsessed with hunting dragons. He got lured into a trap by a giant dragon and was captured without much effort."
The crowd was all too familiar with Omore.
After all, he was an infamous figure.
Many people knew about his planned execution by international military forces, but no one knew whether he was ultimately killed or imprisoned.
Now, seeing this—he had actually been locked inside a Zero Number Abyss Tower!
The fact that Ling Zhan had been placed in this particular tower was clearly the doing of the four generals.
Not to make things difficult for Ling Zhan—
But because he had to prove himself in front of everyone.
If he had been given the same Zero Number Abyss Tower as the other challengers, it wouldn't have been convincing enough.
While Moldes, Ye Qingling, and others seemed to be advancing slowly, their actual strength was undeniable. Given enough time, they could definitely clear the tower.
If Ling Zhan had been placed in the same tower as Moldes and the others, and all eleven of them had cleared it—
Even if Ling Zhan finished first, it would only prove he was stronger than them, but not by a huge margin.
Only by assigning Ling Zhan the most difficult challenge could they ensure he would gain full recognition!
"This is going to be a tough fight!"
"Omore may be a madman, but his strength is undeniable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed twenty level 190 powerhouses to take him down back then."
"Alright, shut up! The seal is about to break—the battle is starting! Focus and watch!"
"…"
Inside the dungeon—
The man on the throne was tightly bound by golden chains—these were the inherent sealing shackles of the Abyss Tower.
Ling Zhan stood by the teleportation gate, his gaze unwavering as he calmly watched the now-awakened man.
Perhaps he had bathed in too much dragon blood, or maybe he had consumed far too much dragon meat—his body had started undergoing bizarre transformations.
Not only did he have dragon scales and dragon horns, but his hands and feet had also grown razor-sharp dragon claws. His golden vertical pupils gleamed menacingly, and black demonic patterns covered his body.
The fusion of Ten Thousand Demons blood, dragon blood, and human blood—
A mixture of three bloodlines made this man's aura both eerie and overwhelmingly powerful.
