At this moment, Meng Zhao unleashed the Dragon Swallowing Secret Art against Lieyang Jiao. Though it lacked the life-and-death authority and suppression it held over the Dragon Clan, it still inflicted tremendous damage upon the power of his bloodline.
Lieyang Jiao had sensed that the black dragon conjured by the Star Swallowing Technique was continuously devouring his bloodline power, and that was why his expression changed so drastically.
With a thought from Lieyang Jiao, the bloodline within his body immediately took the form of a Three-Legged Golden Crow, bathed in the radiance of the blazing sun as it engaged the black dragon formed by the Dragon Swallowing Technique in a fierce battle.
In just a short time, Lieyang Jiao's aura weakened by more than one degree. Even his giant true form, towering like a mountain range, could no longer be maintained and showed signs of shrinking. Rainbow-hued radiance bloomed across his body, and there were faint signs that the divine spear would leave his form.
As had been said before, those who chiefly relied on bloodline power would inevitably be constrained by it as well. Lieyang Jiao could not escape this rule.
Born of the Blazing Sun Divine Clan, he took pride in his Blazing Sun Bloodline. From the very beginning of his cultivation, he had centered everything on his bloodline power, continuously using it as a core from which to derive and develop countless methods. Through it, he had continuously transformed himself, attaining the realms of Innate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, and Celestial Being.
Now that his bloodline power had been assaulted and damaged by Meng Zhao's Dragon Swallowing Secret Art, his very foundation had naturally been harmed as well. His combat strength had weakened, and he could no longer sustain his peak condition.
It would not be an exaggeration
