My try:
"... and sweet, until the point he takes/adopts the form of the most humble [human] being on earth" hasta tomar la forma de -> literally -> until he takes the form of or maybe better to use till instead of until El dolor incrementó hasta tornarse insoportable - The pain increased till it turned unbearable El discurso comenzó tranquilamente hasta que tomó/adoptó / hasta tomar/adoptar la forma de una reprimenda. The speech started calmly till it became a reprimand / till it took the form of a reprimand.
