Chapter 457: The Outstanding Newcomer

```

If we talk about the deadliest places in Jiuzhou, Dead City undoubtedly ranks within the top three.

On ordinary days, the place is filled with a dense gloom and Dark Mist; no cultivator wishes to approach it. The various forces that were once stationed outside the city to monitor its activity had already withdrawn over a hundred years ago, for reasons unknown.

Xiao Chen stood upon Dead City, his entire body radiating brilliantly while demon patterns on his forehead gleamed, his god-transformed meridians shining like stars within his flesh. Mysterious symbols also appeared on his skin, with the phantom of the Heavenly Stele flickering around him.

Twenty-Seven Battle Swords floated all around, arranged in a profound and intricate sword array, emitting towering sword auras. At this moment, he felt filled with great power and dimly sensed some connection with Dead City.

"Xiao Chen, what's happening with you?" the Divine Clan Giant, Qi Er, called out loudly.
