The Abyss World's thinnest element is darkness, and the Owl Butterfly Divine Kingdom that wields it is the weakest among the Six Divine Kingdoms. Even so, it is also the most favored by the Abyss Monarch. Even the Kingdom's name and the God Name were personally bestowed by the Abyss Monarch himself, a fact the other Five Divine Kingdoms dare not deny or twist.
Due to that, while the other Kingdoms had their names changed multiple times throughout history, with the most recent example being the Eternal Light Divine Kingdom, the Owl Butterfly Divine Kingdom always maintained the same name, and its Divine Regent continued to use the very same Divine Title across every era.
Other factors aside, the main reason for the scarcity of Darkness Profound practitioners is that it remains the rarest element in the Abyss. Its presence has barely grown over the past hundred thousand years, to the point that its increase is almost negligible.
Additionally, because Darkness Profound Energy is inherently difficult to control, Darkness Profound practitioners were generally weaker than other practitioners. This was the main reason the Owl Butterfly Divine Kingdom stood as the weakest among the kingdoms, and why its Divine Regent was also regarded as the weakest among the Divine Regents.
For all these reasons, the Owl Butterfly Divine Kingdom was the kingdom where finding a Godbearer proved the most difficult among the six kingdoms, even more so than the Star and Moon Divine Kingdom.
Throughout history, they possessed the fewest Godbearers.
One could easily imagine how joyful the Divine Regent and even the entire Kingdom became when Pan Buwang was discovered to be a Godbearer with 80% Divine Essence.
The sky above the Owl Butterfly Divine Kingdom was extremely dark, darker than a moonless night in the Primal Chaos. It was different from the dark grey color seen in other parts of the Abyss, as this was pure darkness, much like the sky of the Northern Divine Region.
"Even though it is the thinnest element in the Abyss, it is still far denser than in the Primal Chaos. If I were to bring my Devil Body here, its cultivation would skyrocket and surpass all my other bodies." Standing on the rooftop of a fairly tall building, Yun Wuji calmly observed the environment of this Kingdom.
"Indeed, even though it is a far cry from its peak when Yin energy occupied half the Primal Chaos, it is still an entire plane higher than the God Realm."
Next to him stood Li Suo. Because she was the Creation Goddess of Life and cultivated Light Profound Energy, she felt some discomfort in this environment, though it was insignificant.
"It's time to meet the trashiest among Divine Regents, Pan Yusheng." Yun Wuji's gaze landed at the center of the kingdom. There, surrounded by countless palaces and temples, stood a pitch black Divine Temple. Its presence and sense of luxury did not lose out to any Divine Temple found in the other Kingdoms.
"Trashiest? It seems you do not like him," Li Suo said, noticing the way Yun Wuji spoke. Even when he talked about the most hated Shenwu Yanye, he never called her trash. She was curious why he would speak so badly of Pan Yusheng in this way.
"Don't like him? He doesn't deserve that much feeling or attention from me. It is more apt to say that I look down on him," Yun Wuji replied with a disdainful smile. Among the seven Divine Regents, the one he truly disdained was not Shenwu Yanye. Even though her actions were extreme, with some stretch, they could still be justified, even if not forgiven.
But Pan Yusheng was total trash.
When Pan Buwang was discovered to be a Godbearer, he was treated like a treasure. But the moment his other son, Pan Buzhuo, was found to possess a higher Divine Essence, he immediately abandoned Pan Buwang in favor of the new Godbearer.
Up to this point, nothing seemed strange. It was perfectly normal to have the person with higher Divine Essence recognized as the Divine Son. What truly made Yun Wuji disdain him was how he allowed the new Pan Buzhuo to humiliate Pan Buwang, subjecting him to the cruelest tortures and degradations. He even turned a blind eye to the death of Pan Buwang's mother, who had once been his Queen.
To give up on your own child just to cater to another simply because they possess more Divine Essence is truly ridiculous and pathetic. A Divine Regent who has everything anyone could dream of, yet does not even value his own flesh and blood and treats them like disposable objects, is a truly sad excuse for a human being.
In this aspect, Yun Wuji looked down on all other Divine Regents, who were only slightly better than Pan Yusheng in this regard. Even Dian Louhou of the Boundless Divine Kingdom, reputed to have a fiery temper and an honest personality, was not much better than Pan Yusheng.
Before his son Dian Jiuzhi awakened his Divine Vein of Great Rage, Dian Louhou did not even remember his own son's name, let alone his appearance. He had never cared for his children. It was only after Dian Jiuzhi awakened his Divine Vein of Great Rage that he began treating him as his most beloved child.
In Yun Wuji's eyes, these Divine Regents were pathetic. They treated their children like tools, or worse, like defective produce or byproducts, as if only their Divine Sons were their true children.
'Even if I were to have 10,000 children in the future, I will never neglect any of them,' Yun Wuji thought silently. He felt even more grateful for his frightening genius that had created the Omnipresent Domain. With it, no matter how many children he had in the future, he would always be able to accompany them and watch them grow without neglecting any of them.
"Let's go and finish this quickly." The space around Yun Wuji rippled as he teleported, and in the next moment, he appeared inside a pitch black space.
Dense Dark Profound Energy swirled inside like a thick, dark fog. Humid droplets of pitch-black liquid hung in the air. The floor was made of dark crystals that reflected the shadowy ceiling, and the walls were constructed from Devil Jades. Dark, obscure inscriptions adorned both the walls and the ceiling, making the atmosphere feel even more foreboding and mysterious.
"Who are you?!" At the center stood a pitch-black throne. The man on it roared, and his True God aura pressed down on Yun Wuji, causing him to shift his attention from the Divine Temple's decorations back to the man himself.
"You do not need to know," Yun Wuji uttered calmly, completely ignoring the immense pressure of a True God, the same pressure that was twisting the space around him. He took a step forward and teleported directly in front of the Pray Eternal Divine Regent.
Without giving him a chance to even react, he grabbed his face tightly with one hand, squeezing it. A silver-grey light appeared in his palm. It grew rapidly, and in the next instant, it enveloped both of them before shrinking into a tiny dot.
As he had done with others, he pulled the Pray Eternal Divine Regent into the Omnipresent Domain to prevent the destruction from spreading.
To avoid disturbing him, Li Suo returned to the Sky Poison Pearl to watch the fight from there until it was over.
This guy was far weaker than the femboys or Shenwu Yanye. On top of that, he was a Darkness Profound practitioner, and Darkness Profound Energy was the thing Yun Wuji feared the least.
BOOMM! BOOMM! BOOMM!!
Dense, pitch-black aura detonated everywhere as Pan Buwang struggled to break free. The Darkness Profound Energy swirled like black wings, and mournful cries, resembling those of demonic crows, resounded through the space.
Yun Wuji did not bother evading or even erecting a barrier to stop the attacks. These powerful blows, which could easily kill countless Divine Limit Practitioners, had no effect on him at all. They did not even damage his clothes.
He was completely immune to Darkness. More than that, he had a natural suppression over it. In front of him, all Darkness Profound practitioners became as docile as obedient dogs.
"Who are you?! What do you want from me?!" Pan Buwang's heart sank. The bones in his face crackled under the pressure Yun Wuji was applying. He flailed his arms and legs, trying desperately to break free, but his counterattacks looking nothing more than flimsy tricks before this man. They had no effect on him whatsoever.
Everything happened so fast, so suddenly. He could not understand how or why this was happening.
Who was this man? Why was he attacking him, and how could he be so unbelievably strong?
"I am here to take something from you," Yun Wuji said, slowly relaxing his grip and speaking with complete indifference.
"What is it that you want?!" Pan Buwang seized the opportunity, unleashing all his power to break free from Yun Wuji's grip. He leaped as far as he could, landing at a distance, and stared at him with his bruised face, now marked by a red-blue handprint that stretched across it.
"I want your Divine Power. Hand it over peacefully, and I shall spare your life," Yun Wuji pointed at him, more specifically at the area where the core of his profound veins was, and spoke calmly. "You can refuse, but then I will be taking your life along with it."
