About[]
A smaller organization in the Badlands Territory. The leader is known as the Starlord of Fogstone and controls a planet magical treasure which has tremendous power. The Starlord of Fogstone is a World god who has 8 World-Level experts under him and controls ninety-six chaosworlds.
History[]
The Starlord of Fogstone was a legend.
Strictly speaking, every single Starlord of Fogstone had been a figure of incredible power. Fogstone had a long, ancient history that stretched even further back than the lineage of the Badlands Court itself! Whenever a successor became powerful, the previous Starlord of Fogstone would depart and go out to adventure through the primordial chaos. They would search for their own paths, and as a result many of them would die on other worlds during their adventures.
After adventuring for many years, some would come back and visit their old home. Thus, although every so often the Fogstone lineage would be wiped out, in every case it had been quickly restored to power once more. In addition, whenever any of the successors formally assumed the mantle of ‘Starlord of Fogstone’, they would suddenly become dramatically more powerful.
One of the reasons why Ning had decided to join Fogstone was precisely because the Starlords of Fogstone had very deep roots. They could rely on the power of Fogstone itself to quickly improve themselves.
Fogstone’s lineage is an ancient one, even more ancient than the lineage of the Badlands Court, the most powerful organization in the Badlands Territory. Although the Badlands Court is more powerful, Fogstone actually ranks as one of the three oldest lineages of the Badlands Territory and is far older than the Badlands Court. Actually, there are many organizations in the Badlands Territory which are older than the Badlands Court, but quite a few of them were wiped out. In the end, power is what matters. The Badlands Court was established by Daolord Badlands; it naturally is the ruler of the entire Badlands Territory.
The most powerful divine ability the Fogstone lineage possesses is the [Fogstone Apocalypse] technique. Only Fiendgod Body Refiners can train in it, and only World Gods can fully master it. This divine ability is never taught to outsiders. When one use this divine ability, one's body will slowly transform into fogstone. If one completely master it and use it, one's entire body will become transformed into fogstone. During the petrification process, one will become terrifyingly powerful but there’s always a catch. If one run out of divine power after one complete the transformation process, one will transform into a fogstone statue and perish.
This will only happen to the World Gods of Fogstone in the most dire of situations. Generally speaking, if you halt the divine ability once your divine power begins to run low, you’ll be able to stay alive.
Legacy[]
The Fogstone Dominion was of an ancient lineage, and its legacy treasure was the planet of Fogstone itself. In addition, every single Starlord of Fogstone was a terrifying figure. Even if a person was once nothing more than an ordinary World-level power, upon assuming the mantle of ‘Starlord of Fogstone’ that person would transform into an utterly terrifying figure. This was all because of the legacy treasure known as the planet Fogstone.
Fogstone could be used to attack and if one paid an incalculable price, one would be able to unleash utterly ruinous power from it. The planet itself was filled with countless dangers and traps, making it so that very few organizations would dare to raid it or launch attacks within it.
When used as a defensive structure, World-level experts had virtually no chance of breaking through into Fogstone.
When used to trap foes, the astral light it radiated would make it so that even World-level experts would move much slower!
Every single Starlord of Fogstone had the power to command and control the planet of Fogstone. This naturally made them some of the most troublesome opponents a World-level expert could face!
Fogstone Army[]
The Fogstone Dominion commands a total of ninety-six chaosworlds, which means they have many cultivators, quite a few of whom wish to join the Fogstone Army. Ordinary cultivators are naturally not permitted to go into the interior regions of the planet of Fogstone; only this trading region is open for all. Cultivators who wish to join their ranks have to first go to the mustering grounds and be tested before being granted entry.
But as an Elder God, there’s no need for one to be tested. Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals could be considered powerful experts, and to raise a new crop of them was very difficult. The Fogstone Dominion controlled many chaosworlds and had many legacies and training techniques to offer its geniuses, but it only had a few thousand Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals within its ranks, despite the passage of countless years. All organizations, including ones that were even more powerful than the Fogstone Dominion, were willing to recruit and retain Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals. Frankly speaking, the Fogstone Dominion wasn’t that powerful of an organization within the Badlands Territory.
Fogstone Army is very welcoming towards Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals who have journeyed and adventured through the primordial chaos. Although they’ll be given certain restrictions, since one is an Elder God the restrictions will be quite lax. The only requirement will be for one to take part in critical battles, while they’ll be given many benefits upon signing up. They’ll get chaos nectar, treasures, and all sorts of other things.
Rules for Joining the Army[]
For True Immortals and True Gods they had to pass nine rounds of elimination. The nine rounds of eliminations would usually take quite a long period of time, mainly because the Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals in charge of the trials were usually quite relaxed and lazy about them. They might end up going into seclusion for a hundred years between rounds, which was why the trials often ended up taking forever.
Elder Gods do not need to go through the elimination process. They can directly join the Fogstone Army. However even Elder Gods have different statuses within the army. There’s a great difference between an ordinary Elder God and a supreme Elder God, after all. The Elder God soldiers of the Fogstone Army can be promoted based on their military accomplishments; with enough military successes, they will be promoted to very high levels. A second possibility is for them to be promoted based solely on power. If they are strong enough, they can be promoted to a high rank even if they haven’t fought in battle yet.
Generally speaking, they have to fight against and defeat certain golems in order to prove their strength. The army have three types of golem on the island; they represent ordinary Elder Gods, elite Elder Gods, and supreme Elder Gods. The golems aren’t that skillful, but beating the first golem means they have the power of an ordinary Elder God. Beating the second golem proves that they have the power of an elite Elder God. Beating the third means that they have the power of a supreme Elder God.
It is quite rare for new entrants to the Fogstone Army to be able to defeat the third golem. The Island Master of the Mustering Grounds, Fushe only encountered two during his tenure here as master of the island.
Of course if one is strong enough, there’s no need to even go through the golem testing. They can ask a World-level expert to come here and attest to their power. However, there are very few figures that have transcended even supreme Elder Gods in power. Although the Fogstone Army does have a few such figures, they only became that powerful after spending quite a bit of time improving themselves after joining the army. There have been none who have requested a World-level expert come and testify to their power immediately after they join the army ranks.
Structure of the Army[]
The core of the army generally consists of Elder Gods and first-tier Ancestral Immortals. There are essentially three ranks; silverscale warriors, goldscale warriors, and generals.
Ordinary Elder Gods and elite Elder Gods are generally silverscale warriors. Supreme Elder Gods are generally goldscale warriors. As for generals, all of them have transcended supreme Elder Gods in power. The Fogstone Army has a total of five generals, and they are able to style and color their armors as they see fit. Other soldiers have to wear the assigned armors. The general of the Fogstone Army was given a suit of top-grade Chaos armor.
The silverscale armor was a top-grade Protocosmic armor that had protective properties! This was a treasure that was comparable in value to a Chaos treasure because protective armors were extremely rare. The goldscale armors are all Chaos armors. Goldscale armors will generally be able to block against most ordinary attacks. In all the Badlands Territory, there are just a few organizations that are willing to give their soldiers such valuable suits of armor.
The Nine Divine Generals of God Emperor Blacklotus aren’t even qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as their generals! They actually came up with their ‘Nine Divine Generals’ because they envied them for having their five. All they did was promote certain supreme Elder Gods with special skills into the ranks of their nine. All nine of them combined are actually a bit weaker than their five.
Military Headquarters[]
The city emanated ripples of absolutely incredible power. Chaos energy swirled around it, so dense as to seem almost solid. The city was furiously devouring the chaos energy, using it to maintain the enormous formation that protected the entire planet of Fogstone. This is Fogstone City.
The military camps are located inside, as are various entertainment venues. True Gods and True Immortals generally required to reside within the city, while Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals are given more freedom to wander around. They are permitted to choose a residence of their choice on Fogstone and just occasionally go to the army camps to meet with the others.
The army camp is also inside the city. The army camp is divided into two major regions. The nicer-looking region is where the Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals usually gather together, while the other one is meant for True Gods and True Immortal.
After one entered the army camp one saw two main paths. These two paths led to two separate drill areas. One area had quite a few soldiers within it, almost all of whom were True Gods or True Immortals. The other drill area had far fewer people, just a few dozen or so Elder Gods and Ancestral Immortals. The vast majority of them were dressed in silverscale armors.
