Renegade Immortal is a powerful and philosophical journey into the harsh world of cultivation, adapted from the beloved web novel by Er Gen. Produced by Tencent Video and animated by BUILD DREAM, the donghua offers a raw and emotional portrayal of one man’s rise from obscurity to legendary status.
🐉 What is Donghua?
Donghua, the term for Chinese animation, continues to rise in global recognition thanks to its distinct storytelling, often based on xianxia, mythology, and philosophical cultivation themes. Unlike anime, donghua frequently tackles existential questions, reincarnation, and moral dilemmas within its action-packed fantasy settings.
Renegade Immortal stands out by showing the darker, more introspective side of the cultivation path—one filled not just with power, but pain, choice, and sacrifice.
⚔️ Story Overview
The series follows Wang Lin, a humble boy from the countryside who has no natural talent for cultivation. Mocked and dismissed as an “ant,” he refuses to accept his fate. Guided by a powerful belief that immortality is not granted but forged, Wang Lin walks a path no one dares to follow.
With unwavering determination and raw intelligence, he begins his journey through a cruel world of cultivators—where strength reigns, and mercy is a weakness. Facing betrayal, isolation, and endless hardship, Wang Lin gradually transforms from an ordinary boy into a force that challenges fate itself.
This is not just a cultivation story—it is a tale of rebellion, willpower, and survival in a world where only the ruthless thrive.
