The Ancient Genes

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out through the Crimson dimension shocking every soul present inside. And, it immediately sent the city into chaos. Most people believed that they were under attack by outside forces as the source of the explosion was clearly in the direction of the entrance of the Spatial pouch.

The Crimson family immediately mobilised its forces to calm the people, and also to prepare for what was about to come. Even they seemed to have thought the same as the common people. After all, it was said that even a peak power house couldn't break through the entrance of the spatial pouch, and that was exactly what had happened.

Inside the Ancestral Hall…

The Matriarch had an ugly expression on her face as she looked in the direction of the entrance. Just a while ago, she was making a bet with her sister that Max wouldn't dare to come inside, and now it had happened.

Obviously, she had no intention to believe that it was Max in the beginning. After all, it was obvious that the intruder had broken through the entrance in one strike. Even she wasn't confident of doing the same. Hence, she had prepared herself to face a formidable foe. But, the thing which happened next left her mouth opening wide in disbelief.

A figure soon had walked through the destroyed entrance, and it was one that she definitely recognized.

This person obviously was Max.

Seeing the same scene, the Second Matriarch let out a hearty laugh. Her excitement couldn't be contained at all.

"What are you laughing for?" The Matriarch immediately glared at her sister. "That brat destroyed the entrance! Who knows how much attention it will attract!"

"Calm down, and give it a careful look.." The Second Matriarch smiled. Initially she too was worried. But, when she used her senses to check the surrounding of the mountain, she realized that an invisible force had somehow prevented any disturbance from leaking out.

It was only then did she breathed a sigh of relief while looking at Max with a hint of surprise. She then proceeded to use her own energy to lay out a strong barrier across the entrance to prevent any more disaster like this.

After doing all this, she even took out time to tease her sister.

The Matriarch's face twitched when she realized all of this.

"But, what if this brat had informed someone else? I mean how is it possible for him to break that barrier so easily?" She asked with a frown while looking at her little sister.

And, even the Second Matriarch was in doubt regarding this matter.

"That might be true, but is there anyone even among the Ancient Families who can break the Spatial pouch in a single blow?" She asked her elder sister.

It was not an easy thing for one to shatter the space so easily. Only those existences who had reached the point to take the next step could do it. But, there obviously were no such humans in this world.

Or should they say..there is one among the Demons..

But, on another note, there was no way that the Heavenly Demon had recovered all his strength at this point of time. If he had, there was no reason for this peace to last anymore.

And, that was the reason why Max's actions were really mysterious and intriguing to them.

"Let's catch that brat first, we will know everything afterwards.." The Matriarch said with a sigh. It seemed today was not a good day for them. It was just one after another. Now, she just hoped that nobody would come looking after Max.

The Second Matriarch nodded, but there was a smile on her face. It was obvious that she was happy seeing Max.

"Hmph! Let me catch that brat. I swear I will whoop his ass for destroying the entrance.." The Matriarch grumbled.

"You are not in a position to say that when you made that kind of bet with me..' The Second Matriarch glared at her as she defended Max.

"Already defending him? We don't even know if that brat will take our side, or stand against us.."

"Blood is thicker than water. I know he will be on the right side…" The Second Matriarch replied as if it was something very obvious.

"I hope that is the case.." The Matriarch spoke as she looked at her sister.

….

On the other side..

Max had already entered the spatial pouch. And, sensing the incoming people, he immediately decided to move. He could clearly sense Synthia's location. But, his objective wasn't just to free her. He wanted to show his abilities, and force the people among higher ups to move.

Only then would he be able to gain some recognition and not be treated like a nobody.

"Well, I have lacked a good battle for a while now. I sure want to test out the gains I had during this course of time.." Max smiled as he clenched his fist. He was really having some expectations this time.

After all, he was sure that the next time he broke through, the gains were not going to be simple. So, he was sure that he had some power in him. And, this was the best place to test it out. After all, the chances of him dying here were low. At least they weren't going to kill him without a chat for sure.

Obviously, this was with the case, that Max too didn't go overboard and slaughtered their people. If not, then who could guarantee that someone wouldn't chop his head in anger while disobeying the orders.

"Well, let's move towards the city first.." Max muttered and the next instant, a clone separated from his body. He had already dissolved the clone outside, and there was no problem with making another one. And, with his current ability, he sure had the liberty to use the clone without worrying much about the time limit.

With the clone as the bait, Max separated himself from his pursuers and headed towards the city unaware that two old ladies were watching him with interest.
