Exploring the Source of Evil

Chapter 20: Exploring the Source of Evil. Although the Nether Shadow Demon Lord had suffered grievous wounds, his lingering evil aura still hung over the universe like a dark pall, leaving the inhabitants of every world deeply uneasy. The World Alliance knew that unless they thoroughly investigated the source of his evil and tore it out by the roots, the universe would inevitably plunge into endless darkness and terror once more. Thus, after a flurry of intensive preparations, an extraordinarily dangerous and challenging exploration mission took shape. Mu Chen, the hero who had demonstrated outstanding leadership and formidable strength in numerous battles, accepted without hesitation the heavy responsibility of leading an elite squad deep into the source of evil. He carefully selected the finest fighters from different worlds, assembling a powerful expedition team whose members each possessed their own specialties. Among them was Luo Li from the Spirit Void Continent, whose peerless swordsmanship, graceful movements, and fierce sword aura could deliver fatal blows in battle; there was also Nine Nether, whose black flames not only possessed tremendous offensive power but could also provide cover and support for her teammates at crucial moments. The Star Illusion World sent Eric, a master of mental power. He could use his formidable mental power to sense subtle changes in his surroundings, warn of potential dangers in advance, and disrupt his enemies' thoughts and movements during battle, creating favorable conditions for the squad. The Mechanical World contributed Lance, a mechanically augmented warrior. His body was forged from sturdy alloys and equipped with advanced weapon systems and energy shields, giving him exceptional defense and firepower. When confronting the evil entity's minions, he could charge at the front and bear the brunt of their attacks for his teammates. Alice, a spiritual plant envoy from the Spiritual Plants
