Chapter 1399 Protection

The turtle hated the Evil Deity to the core.

However, the Evil Deity was much stronger than him. Back when the turtle was at his peak, he tried to use the great hall's power to defeat the Evil Deity. However, he had failed.

Fortunately, the Evil Deity's actions were limited in this hall. To prevent the inheritance from being destroyed by someone like the Evil Deity, the great hall's former owner had left behind a mighty law—the Sin Law. It restricted strong warriors from forcefully breaking into the inheritance space.

For many years, the Evil Deity had been unable to enter the inheritance space and gain control of the ancient relic.

"Why are you here today?" the turtle asked through Jeremy.

"To kill some human ants, of course." The Evil Deity glanced at Darren and the others.

He had dreamed of getting into the inheritance space and controlling the relic for so many years. But, each time he tried, he failed. How could he accept the fact that these human ants had gained the qualification for entering the inheritance space so easily? What if one of these humans got the inheritance? Then he would be doomed!

Unwilling to allow that, the Evil Deity intended to kill Darren and the others.

A chill snaked down everyone's spine when they heard his candid response. The atmosphere became tense, and everyone became vigilant.

They knew that the Evil Deity, who was in the Archean relic, would be more powerful than them. He had even defeated Alfredo's wife!

"If he wants to kill us, I'm afraid he can do it with a wave of his hand." Eallard frowned.

"How dare you? You're only a soul. Leave the hall right now. You are not welcome here!"

The twelve beasts, who were the guardians of this hall, would never allow the Evil Deity to set foot in here at will.

Besides, now that someone had the opportunity to enter the inheritance space, it was their duty to protect the candidates.

The Evil Deity raised his head and flicked his slender fingers forward.

The hall trembled, and a stream of god's power of Archean Age shot out.

"Roar!"

A fierce black-scaled beast suddenly roared, and extended its massive claws as it rushed toward the Evil Deity.

Bang!

The beast was thrown back with such intensity that it slammed into the wall with a single move.

It was known to all that each of these twelve beasts' real fighting power was only a fraction lower than that of the golden dragon.

The ability to send a fierce beast flying with a flick of his finger was a testament to the Evil Deity's p

rected them to bombard the humans.

At the same time, the Evil Deity rushed toward Darren and the others.

"Stop him!"

The twelve fierce beasts re-launched attacks, biting the Evil Deity's legs, shoulders, and arms.

However, this didn't stop him. He threw dozens of punches instantly, and the bodies of the twelve fierce beasts were smashed!

Meanwhile, the turtle charged at the palm shadows, which were about to hit Darren and his companions. In the span of a breath, his turtle shell enlarged infinitely to block the incoming attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang

The explosion was devastating. Several web-like cracks appeared on the turtle shell, and then it crumbled!

The residual god's power wounded the turtle, and he fell to the floor, bleeding.

"You're doomed now!" the black cat cackled at the Evil Deity.

The black cat's body had been destroyed in the earlier attack. As only his head was left intact, the statement was eerier coming from the black cat.

"How dare you endanger our lives? Accept the punishment of our great master!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Endless black divine thunder shot out from every corner of the hall and interwove into a net of thunder and lightning that descended on the Evil Deity.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The Evil Deity trembled and struggled as he tried to free himself from the net.

"How dare you fatally injure us despite knowing that you would be punished if you killed us? Crazy!" the black cat said proudly, just before his eyes turned gray.

If the hall's guardians were critically wounded by powerful warriors who entered the hall, it would trigger the Sin Law of the hall. The intruder would then receive severe punishment.
