Did Lei Daozi’s (雷道子) Plan to Break Wang Lin’s (王林) Mood via Wang Ping (王平) on Ran Yun Star (冉云星) Backfire? In the animated series Renegade Immortal (仙逆), a seemingly simple curiosity leads to a violent death. Lei Daozi, a cultivator at the Yin Void stage, arrives on Ran Yun Star searching for someone called Xu Mu (许木). He quickly notices a mortal boy, Wang Ping, who can ignore his divine sense intimidation. This strange fact hooks him.
Instead of leaving well enough alone, he decides to use the boy as a tool. His goal: break the mood of Wang Lin, the boy’s father. Lei Daozi believes that shattering Wang Lin’s emotional state will make him weak. He could not be more wrong. What follows is a brutal lesson in underestimating a man who has already swallowed an ancient thunder dragon and mastered the law of cause and effect.
Wrong Target
Wang Ping is Wang Lin’s forbidden zone. Touching him is like poking a sleeping beast with a stick. Lei Daozi never understands this because he cannot see through Wang Lin at all. The Yin Void elder thinks he is smart. He figures that if he destroys Wang Lin’s mood first, the fight becomes easy. So he shifts all his attention to the boy. But he misses one critical fact: Wang Lin’s mood already contains the power of cause and effect.
Years of living a simple, mortal life with Wang Ping helped Wang Lin grow faster than anyone expected. His mood reached the great circle of the Asking the Heavens stage, even though his cultivation remained at the middle stage. Even Wang Lin himself feels surprised by this speed. Lei Daozi, however, knows none of this. He sees a man with a child and thinks, “Here is a weak point.” That assumption costs him everything.
The elder also fails to realize that Wang Lin’s lightning techniques come from a source far above his own. Wang Lin once devoured the Ancient Thunder Dragon, a creature that used to control divine punishment. Unless Lei Daozi has reached the second step of cultivation, his own thunder powers mean nothing. He might as well throw raindrops at a hurricane. Still, he pushes forward, blinded by arrogance and a misplaced sense of superiority.
Overwhelming Power
Wang Lin does not fight fair. He never has. When he chased a rogue demon far stronger than himself, he ate demonic fruits like candy and turned into a killing machine. Against Huan Wuqing (幻无情), he let a demon possess his body and still won. Now, facing a Yin Void cultivator, he sees no reason to hold back. Lei Daozi’s attempt to anger him via Wang Ping only unleashes something worse.
The first shock comes from the lightning. Wang Lin’s thunder techniques, powered by the Ancient Thunder Dragon, make Lei Daozi’s own spells look like child’s play. Then comes the Zhan Luo Jue (斩罗诀). Wang Lin uses it twice in a row. Each strike terrifies Lei Daozi to his core. A cultivator at the Asking the Heavens stage should not have this kind of firepower. Yet here it is, roaring straight at his face.
Wang Lin also unseals the third lock on his Thunder Beast Divine Chariot. He does not care about consequences. He never does. That reckless, almost insane drive is what made him survive against enemies far above his level. Lei Daozi walked into a trap he set for himself. He wanted to break a mood, but instead he woke a monster.
Instant Regret
The battle ends quickly. Lei Daozi realizes his mistake the moment Wang Lin’s full power slams into him. He cannot run. He cannot defend. His thunder is useless, his schemes pointless, and his target absolutely merciless. Wang Lin does not hesitate. He cuts down the elder without a second thought, turning him into the second immortal guard for his collection.
What makes this death so fitting is that Lei Daozi could have walked away. He came to Ran Yun Star looking for Xu Mu, not for a fight. But his curiosity about Wang Ping and his arrogant need to prove himself led him down a dead end. He chose to anger Wang Lin. He chose to attack the one thing the man holds dear. That is not strategy. That is suicide by stubbornness.
In the end, Lei Daozi becomes a perfect example of a fool who dug his own grave. He wanted to shatter a mood, but he never understood what that mood truly was. Wang Lin’s mood is not just emotion. It is law, power, and the memory of a hard life lived among mortals. You cannot break something that has already weathered every storm. Lei Daozi learned that lesson the hardest way possible: with his last breath.
