Xue Ya was the first Dao Integration Stage Vermilion Bird that had ever died.
After learning of the Heavenly Earth God's death, Heavenly Goddess Fei Huang resolutely chose to sacrifice herself in order to activate all nine of her divine halos. By doing so, she would be able to attain a power that allowed her to rule over the entire battlefield. She had chosen this fate so that she could sweep aside all obstacles that lay in the Heavenly Human Tribe's path!
After activating her nine divine halos, Heavenly Goddess Fei Huang completely turned the tables on the Vermilion Bird Sages. Instead of being pummeled by them, she was now pummeling them instead! Vermilion Bird Nan Li, Vermilion Bird You Luo, Vermilion Bird Huan Jin, and Vermilion Bird Tian Jin were completely unable to stop Heavenly Goddess Fei Huang's advance. They could only stare on in shock as Xue Ya was ripped into two by Heavenly Goddess Fei Huang!
