Chapter 463: Clash

"Welcome to the Star Realm, Mr. Andrei Lee Wiltonstein!"

Before he had fully entered the boundless void illuminated by the stars, Li Mochen heard a gentle voice of a middle-aged man beside his ear. He focused his attention, activating his 'Titan's Eye' and 'True Dragon's Vision,' and peered through the still-dissipating spatial turbulence ahead. He could vaguely make out a man and a woman standing in midair about seven hundred meters away.

On the left was a middle-aged man dressed like a butler, while on the right was a young woman in a black trench coat, staring at him with a cold, sharp gaze. Her fierce killing intent made even Li Mochen's spirit feel a sting.

The speaker was the middle-aged butler. Though his eyes were also filled with murderous intent, his tone was still polite: "The reason we invited you here is to confirm something. About two months ago—"

His words stopped abruptly, unable to continue. For the moment Li Mochen entered the Star Realm, countless chains burst forth from his arm, shooting out in all directions. They first extended to six points, distributed above, below, left, right, front, and back, then 'exploded' again, splitting into countless black chains that spread, crisscrossed, and linked together, ultimately forming a massive cage.

While the two opposite were still stunned, Li Mochen's body was already covered in a layer of gold-red exoskeleton armor, deflecting the deadly starlight that shone upon him.

Delphinia Eldridge's pupils contracted, and then a strong sense of anger and hatred surged: "It really is you!"

She recognized that Li Mochen's armor resembled Anthony Braden's Light Demon No. 5 in appearance, except for slight differences in the chest and arms. It should be an early version of the Light Demon No. 5.

The outside world had long coveted the Light Demon battle armor; many wished to glimpse its secrets and coveted its formidable combat power. But Anthony never sold his Light Demon armor, not even a single prototype had ever leaked out.

Yet now Li Mochen had one in his hands, and the connection between the two was obvious.

"Lord of the Void Night!"

Li Mochen also smiled: "I myself have been waiting for you for a long time. I hope you will like the gift I have prepared for you."

Delphinia sneered contemptuously, looking at Li Mochen as if he were a rat in a trap.

"Your gift? I don't see what it can do—"

But the next moment, she frowned slightly, realizing that her void powers were completely unusable. Not only could she not manipulate the surrounding void energy, but she also couldn't open the spatial walls around her.

She tried to slash with force to break through the chains' blockade, but found that even a strike at seventy percent of her power could not damage the chains in the slightest. They seemed to exist outside this space, causing her sharp sword light to only strike deep into the void of the Star Realm.

"Dimensional Lock?"

The middle-aged butler also noticed the chains' restrictive effect on space. At first, he thought it was a spell similar to 'Dimensional Lock,' but then realized it was different. It not only sealed the surrounding space but also suppressed the void energy within range—this was clearly a device designed specifically to counter Delphinia's void abilities!

"Anthony and I code-named it 'Mousetrap.'"

Li Mochen said as he glanced at the time on his interface: "Let me remind you two, my maid and my sister Hazel will find this place in at most five minutes. Anthony Braden has a teleportation gate set up here, and he and his men will arrive as soon as possible. The only way to break this spatial seal is the control hub in my hand. You have only five minutes to defeat me. Otherwise—"

Delphinia's reaction was calm, her gaze at Li Mochen unchanged.

But the middle-aged 'butler,' before Li Mochen had even finished speaking, suddenly fired his gun. He was a Legendary Tier 4 magic shooter, and the bullets he fired were like lightning flashes, dangerous and deadly.

Li Mochen had anticipated this. A massive pale-gold shield appeared abruptly before him.

It was the eight-meter giant shield, the Saint Artifact Tier 5 'Benedict Holy Shield,' or 'Benedict's Unbreakable Wall,' that the Blood-Eyed Maid had seized from Calvin Benedict that day.

The Light Demon No. 4, crafted by Anthony, had powerful mobility, allowing Li Mochen to barely wield this enormous near-divine weapon.

At the same time, countless fine silver lights burst from behind Li Mochen—this set of 'Sun-Moon-Star Celestial Sword Array,' which he had commissioned Anthony's top alchemist to modify for the third time using the remaining 'Night Marrow Divine Gold' from forging the 'Wind God's Fang' for the Blood-Eyed Maid, already possessed Saint Artifact-level power. In this world illuminated by stars, it was even more at home.

The three hundred and sixty tiny flying swords interwove and slashed in front of Li Mochen, intercepting most of the bullets. Only a few slipped through, striking the 'Benedict Holy Shield' with heavy 'clang' sounds. The immense force, though only leaving shallow white marks on the huge shield, forced Li Mochen to step back to absorb the impact.

The next moment, Delphinia Eldridge's figure appeared behind Li Mochen. Her face cold, her left hand's wand pointed, her eyes filled with both mockery and hatred.

"Transmutation!"

Even without her void powers, she was still a Legendary Tier 5 magic warrior, also a Legendary Tier 2 magic sorcerer!

But just as the white light gathered on her wand was about to be unleashed, a star-blue sword light shot out from the longsword in Li Mochen's hand. Delphinia initially dismissed it, but then this condensed and compressed external force slashed through several layers of her defenses. Startled, she immediately canceled the spell she was preparing and used the sword in her right hand to parry and deflect.

After a series of clashes with the sword light, Delphinia barely managed to break it. A fragment of residual energy even grazed past her ear, leaving a bloodstain on her left cheek.

This brief exchange made Delphinia's body tremble involuntarily, a chilling cold invading her entire being.

Though caught off guard, she had still lost! A Legendary Tier 5 warrior had lost to a low-level Outlaw who relied on exoskeleton armor to achieve Legendary Tier 3 strength!

"See? The guy before you isn't so easy to deal with."

Li Mochen sneered in displeasure: "Using Transmutation? You're too arrogant, Lady Delphinia."

This alien race's lord had wanted to turn him into a rat, which amused him but also stirred up some anger.

This kind of spell was highly insulting and required a long casting time; she clearly regarded him as a weakling not worth her effort.
