Background / History

The Devouring Sky Rat claimed that he began as an ordinary little mouse in the mortal world of Liang Kingdom and muddled his way to the initial third tier through his own bloodline talent and opportunity 474. Before meeting Qin Ming, he secretly observed Moon Gazing Island, intending to steal Five Elements Vitality Spirit Peaches to restore his strength before targeting a Spirit Transformation Fruit 215.

After being captured, he became Qin Ming's Spirit Pet. He initially submitted only because he saw prospects in following Qin Ming and secretly planned to overturn the arrangement when possible. Qin Ming nevertheless made him disclose the Demon Race's internal affairs, then punished his theft by assigning him to work the Spirit Fields 215. He later carried Qin Ming's intelligence concerning Beast Cry Mountain Range to Li Yuanqing and recovered to Second-Order Mid Stage under Qin Ming's care 216.

His relationship with Qin Ming gradually became one of genuine loyalty. When Qin Ming sought a method to restore his cultivation, the Devouring Sky Rat pledged to serve him unto death 244. He subsequently became Qin Ming's principal Spirit Pet and a powerful companion in conflicts spanning the Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, and Ancient Demon Realm.

Appearance

The Devouring Sky Rat's natural form is a gray-furred rat demon. He can enlarge his body from dozens of zhang to a colossal demon form hundreds or thousands of zhang tall in battle 255 475.

• Gray fur, later marked by flashing silver Spirit Marks associated with Qin Ming's Ageless Immortal Vine 475 476.
• Can transform into a fair, plump child after reaching the fourth order 475 476.
• His fifth-order breakthrough changed this childlike form into that of a graceful youth 674.
• His awakened bloodline produced purple-gold demon blood, purple-gold Demon Core markings, and eventually Taotie-like Spirit Marks across his body 673 674 981.

Personality

The Devouring Sky Rat is loud, vain, food-motivated, and habitually refers to himself as “This Lord.” He frequently boasts after every advancement, flaunts his new strength before the other Spirit Pets, and eagerly seeks Qin Ming's praise or rewards 563 731 988.

Despite his arrogance, he is highly pragmatic. His early resentment toward Qin Ming gave way to deep attachment once he recognized the opportunities available at his master's side. He is willing to undertake dangerous scouting, combat, and restriction-breaking assignments, though he often acts recklessly when tempted by treasure, wine, or a chance to claim credit 478 868 1006.

He also shows unexpected consideration toward those he sympathizes with, such as offering Spirit Fruits to the distressed Soul Clan girl Shuang Ying and urging Qin Ming to save her 929 930.
