Background

Ye Chen is a transmigrator whose soul belonged to an adult before he became the legitimate son of the Ye Family, one of the Pill Domain’s Five Great Families. Aware of the Ye Family’s eventual decline in the original story, he resolved to prevent its fall through cultivation, alchemy, and political preparation. His Hidden Star Soul is primarily fire and secondarily wood, a combination that enhances his spiritual aptitude and suits alchemy. 3

He began memorizing medicinal knowledge at age two and was personally trained by the Ye Family Old Ancestor, Ye Xun. Ye Xun’s regimen included medicinal scripture, material handling, demonstrations of refining techniques, medicinal baths, and nightly Dou Qi cultivation. 5 151

Ye Chen’s earliest alchemy attempts exposed a key weakness: despite his powerful Soul Power and Lifebound Flame, he became impatient when his fire temperature fluctuated. Ye Xun deliberately slowed the training, emphasizing that talent could not replace control, stamina, or repeated practice. 6 9

Appearance

Ye Chen was unusually tall for his age, reaching roughly 1.5 meters shortly after turning seven. Following his Dou Zhe breakthrough, his handsome but still-childish features gained a warm, jade-like complexion from cultivating the Heavenly Sun Profound Fire Art. 8 9

• Silver-white Starfire can rise from his palm; it carries a faint chill rather than ordinary heat. 5
• His body later manifests purple-gold dragon scales under extreme combat pressure. 521
• He has been seen wearing a long green robe while traveling under the Song Gongzi identity. 41

Personality

Ye Chen is pragmatic and goal-oriented. He prioritizes long-term foundations over superficial advances, deliberately tempering his Nine Stage Dou Qi rather than relying immediately on breakthrough pills. 5 8

He is confident in his talent and can be dismissive toward poor alchemical methods, as demonstrated when he openly criticized Bai Wei’s impractical Foundation Establishment Pill formula. 13 His confidence is tempered by calculation: he forms alliances, keeps a low profile when attention would be harmful, and encourages Xiao Yan partly because Xiao Yan can attract the Soul Hall’s attention away from him. 43 354 355

Around family and those under his protection, Ye Chen is notably warmer. He guides his sisters’ futures, provides resources to Alita, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin, and remains affectionate at home despite his public reputation. 115 137 172

Abilities & Skills

Alchemy and Fire Control

Ye Chen is an exceptional alchemist whose advancement is supported by unusually high Soul Power, extensive foundational knowledge, and precise flame control.

• His Lifebound Flame is a silver-white Starfire that can be used without relying on fire-attributed Dou Qi. 5 9
• He can refine high-grade pills in succession, including Sixth Grade Imperial Pills, Seventh Grade peak pills, Ninth Grade pills, Spirit Pills, and Emperor Pills. 140 230 410 562
• His Pill Formation Rate reached 90% during his pre-assessment training and later reached 60% for low-grade Seventh Grade pills. 142 168
• He uses the Method of Condensing Objects to Contain Pills, a technique that shocked even Eighth Grade Alchemist Masters. 410
• His later primary flame is the Three Thousand Starry Sky Flame, formed from the fusion of Starfire and Three Thousand Burning Flame. 292

Soul Power

Ye Chen’s Soul Value reached 1021 during the Pill Tower assessment, surpassing Cao Ying and Song Qing. 155

• His Soul Power allows him to perceive and track opponents whose speed exceeds normal vision. 304
• He learned Xuan Kongzi’s Mystic Tier High-Level Soul Handprint, whose three forms each double the attack’s power. 160
• He mastered all three forms, including the instantly cast Soul Profound Handprint for emergency defense. 185
• He can deploy the soul sonic attack Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath, though his Five-Star Dou Saint reserves limit him to fewer than three consecutive uses. 504

Star Vein Diagram

Ye Chen’s Hidden Star Soul and Star Vein Diagram are central to his abnormal growth, enhancing his physique, Soul Power, fire control, and combat potential.

• His early Star Vein Diagram was the Unicorn Fire Spirit Flood Dragon; it granted the Dragon Flame Song Star Track Skill. 39
• Dragon Flame Song forms fire dragons from lit Star Palaces; each additional lit palace increases the number of dragons he can create. 39 77
• His diagram later evolved into the Starry Sky Dragon after Starfire fused with Three Thousand Burning Flame. 292
• At Earth Supreme level, his Star Region Skills had risen to Grand Perfection Divine Powers, while his Star Track Skills had become Lesser Divine Powers. 578
• Heavenly Dragon Seal can combine seven seals into a single Star Region Skill attack. 578

Physique and Defensive Techniques

Ye Chen’s body is strengthened through star power, dragon bloodline-derived power, lightning tempering, and multiple defensive arts.

• The Acquired Archaic Star Body grants affinity for Archaic Star Power, which tempers both his body and Dou Qi. 77
• His Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor can withstand attacks from Eight- or Nine-Star Dou Zuns. 401
• Heavenly Dragon Armor is a Star Track Skill that summons dragon-scale armor for defense, though it is initially weaker than the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Armor. 410
• Nine Revolutions of the Thunder God reached its fifth revolution through Pill Lightning tempering and later its seventh revolution in the Void Thunder Pool. 331 402
• At the seventh revolution, the Thunder God Body can form a twelve-zhang manifestation and temporarily raise his strength to Seven-Star Peak Dou Zun. 402
• His physical body can withstand attacks that would normally cripple experts far above his realm, including Soul Fiend’s saber aura. 521

Combat Techniques

Ye Chen combines overwhelming physical strength with sustained barrages of high-tier techniques.

• Heaven Splitting Finger — Earth Tier Low-Level finger technique obtained through Lin Yutong; known for powerful single-target damage. 33 42
• Dragon Devour — A destructive technique used against Eagle Elder; its black ring erases matter, energy, and released techniques in its path. 304
• Luan Kill Spear — Initially his strongest offensive method after obtaining it as a Heaven Tier Dou Technique. 204 239
• Great Heaven Creation Palm — A Heaven Tier Dou Technique engraved into his palm bones through Dou Saint remains. 386
• True Dragon Shading Heaven Hand — A high-output technique he can unleash repeatedly in rapid succession. 452 504
• World-Ending Thunder Fist — A technique developed from his Five-Pattern Thunder God Body, with power comparable to a Heaven Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique. 504
• Nine Profound Golden Lightning — A dangerous trump card that can temporarily boost him to Seven-Star Dou Saint combat strength. 521

Spatial and Supreme Cultivation

After becoming a Dou Zong, Ye Chen gained access to Spatial Power and could generate spatial ripples with a gesture. 210

• He created and perfected a Supreme Sea by reconstructing his destroyed Qi Sea into a spiritual-energy reservoir. 533
• His Supreme Sea eventually developed a continent within Space No. 1, later known as the Myriad Fire Continent. 533 545
• He established a spirit-energy alchemy system on the Myriad Fire Continent and adapted the Medicine Cauldron into the Spirit Furnace. 562

Equipment, Weapons, and Assets

• Star Chen Cauldron — His principal cauldron for high-level refinement, including the Calamity Breaking Pill, Profound Heaven Fire Fusion Pill, and Ninth Grade pill. 108 228 409
• Myriad Beasts Cauldron — Used during his large-scale Ye Family alchemy plan. 140
• Soaring Snake Ship — His personal vessel; it expanded significantly before his return to Ye City. 172
• Heavenly Demon Phoenix Wings — Wings revealed during his battle with Eagle Elder. 304
• Earth Demon Puppets — Two puppets refined from Chen Yun and Hong Tianxiao; each possesses around Six-Star Dou Zong strength and exceptional defense, but lacks ranged attacks and higher intelligence. 300 301
• Return Origin Array — A Pill Tower cultivation-room formation used alongside a Sect Breaking Pill for his Dou Zong breakthrough. 210
