Qu Chengxiu could see no chance of victory. If he kept forcing the fight, he would only make himself look even more wretched.
If Qu Chengxiu had mastered even one other High-Grade Earth God Skill, he would not have ended up like this now.
But it was precisely this habit, ingrained over so many years—as long as one mastered a High-Grade Earth God Skill of the divine soul type, everything could be resolved—that had kept all five of those on the Heaven's Chosen List from learning any new High-Grade Earth God Skills.
In truth, this was not exactly wrong. After all, with the divine soul of an Earth God Realm Initial Stage cultivator, the power of a divine-soul High-Grade Earth God Skill was simply not something a Realm Lord could withstand.
Yet Chen Fei, this utterly unreasonable monster, just had to appear, causing all of this to change.
So the real problem was actually that Chen Fei's combat strength was far too stunning, making Qu Chengxiu's combination of moves look so unreasonable.

A loss was a loss. The current leader of the Heaven's Chosen List was Chen Fei!
But this was only a contest at the Realm Lord stage. He, Qu Chengxiu, had lost, but once he broke through to the Earth God Realm in the future, he would not make such a mistake again.
As Qu Chengxiu voluntarily withdrew from the Secret Realm, the cultivators watching across the Cold Mountain Domain were first stunned, and then an uproar exploded all at once.
They had originally thought it would be a battle of dragons
