Chapter 726: Form
In the vast expanse of the Astral World.
A floating island with a diameter of over ten kilometers was drifting through the void.
From time to time, fragments of astral matter, some only a few meters across, others a dozen meters in size, hurtled toward it. Yet before they could even shake the island's foundation, the protective barrier surrounding it, like an atmospheric shield, would dissolve them upon contact.
The energy and mass from these fragments reinforced the barrier while also slightly expanding the island's size. And as the island grew, so too did the energy and mass of the Astral God.

Li Pin remarked, "The path of Divine ascension... It really does resemble the transformation into an Earth Immortal."
Sasha smiled and said, "It's just a matter of choosing a different direction. A Divine Being cultivates their Natal Planet, which is why they exist in a solid form.
"Legends, on the other hand, rely primarily on energy. But Your Highness, if you don't need this mass, you can convert all of it into pure energy. The only concern is that this process might trigger the Eternal Oblivion Force."
Li Pin nodded. He was merely feeling a little unaccustomed to his current state. As Sasha had said, if he didn't wish to maintain this form, he could transform himself into a cluster of high-level energy at any time.
Back in the Legendary stage, cultivators had already mastered converting matter into energy. Now, as an Astral God, his skill in this had only grown more refined.
However, doing so in the Astral World required extreme caution due to the influence of the Eternal Oblivion Force.
It was perfectly normal for one to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of years on the process.
