The capacity and endurance of a spirit manipulator's Magic Spiritual Space were directly related to his own strength. Therefore, when Glutton made such a huge ruckus within Rocky's Magic Spiritual Space, he immediately felt that his spiritual power was also in a mess. It was like a group of demons was rampaging in his body, and his chest was so stuffy, making him hard to breathe.
'What is it doing? Does Glutton want to kill me?' Rocky clenched his fists as his face turned pale. He had just managed to escape from a huge disaster, and now Glutton was creating such excruciating turmoil.
Eventually, the uproar subsided just before Rocky was unable to hold on any longer. The remains floating in the air gradually turned into ashes and scattered on the ground. Then, Glutton's body shone in bright red light, and a demonic aura shot through the sky in a great momentum. It was as if a demon king was about to descend to the world.
After a while, the body began to shrink, and it finally transformed into a human shape.
Then, the human-shaped Glutton emerged, wearing brocade clothes and a jade crown. There was no hint of a demonic beast in its appearance. It looked quite elegant, like a gentleman. It could be said that it looked very similar to a member of the spiritual race, but of course, the aura it emitted was far superior.
Even Rocky was a little stunned when he saw Glutton's current appearance. He didn't expect that the mightiest ancient demonic beast could transform into the shape of a human.
"What? Do I look strange?" Glutton asked Rocky who was quite staring for a while now.
"Well, I just didn't expect that you could take this form," Rocky explained.
"I have no choice. This is the only way that I can suppress my strength. If I display my original form, I won't be able to control my own power," Glutton answered indifferently.
"Hmm, but why do you look like a member of some spiritual race?" Rocky finally asked. This was already in his mind the moment Glutton's figure emerged.
"Ha! What an ignorant human! Where do you think the spiritual race evolved from?" Glutton shook its head and glanced at Rocky with disdainful eyes.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Rocky asked with furrowed brows.
"Fine, let me tell you. The ancestors of the spiritual race were from the same clan as the ancient demonic beasts and the ancient spiritual beasts. However, they became more intelligent, and they had been much disciplined in studying and cultivating over the years. Eventually, their bodies evolved into what you see now as the spiritual race. Then, they reproduced and slowly grew in number. This is their origin," Glutton explained briefly.
"So, you mean to say that the spiritual race in the Wild Spirit Land underwent a backward evolution?" Rocky was surprised to hear this. Obviously, the survival of the fittest was a natural law; however, it was pretty inconceivable and against the natural law for powerful beasts, like the ancient demonic beasts and ancient spiritual beasts, to transform into human-like bodies. Thus, it could be called a backward evolution.
"I don't know about this backward evolution you're telling me, but you have to know that the birth of the spiritual race was what changed everything. It became the start of the extinction of the demonic beasts. Thus, you can't blame me for hating the spiritual race," Glutton said indignantly.
"But who is Divine King Belial? What is his relationship with the spiritual race? Why does the spiritual race submit to him?" Rocky asked all the questions that he still found pretty vague.
"So, I was right. It seems like King Apollyon didn't tell you anything. Well, it's just normal. If you knew all the secrets regarding the spiritual race, their lives would be threatened. But it has nothing to do with me. I even wish that all of them would just die," Glutton remarked with a cold expression in its eyes.
"Now I'm more curious about the secret hidden by the spiritual race from the humans," Rocky replied in a dissatisfied tone.
"If King Apollyon didn't tell you, he must have his reasons, one of which must be to protect you. If you don't want to be the enemy of the spiritual race, you'd better not know too much," Glutton said with a bitter smile as if trying to be kindhearted.
