Martyr's Palace

An airship made out of the remains of an Earth Dragon (a void colossus). It was passed on to Qianye due to his superior origin power (Venus Dawn). He has started to build the airship with Bluemoon's help.

The Earth Dragon was killed by Pointer Monarch to be used as a material to refine a Grand Magnum whose soul was to be his deceased wife's. After his failure (he was only able to create a barrel with little spirituality), Pointer Monarch decides to create an airship. However, due to the potential power and potential claim Pointer Monarch has for the throne, the military finds the project dangerous and cuts off their support.

"Drowned in despair after failing to forge the gun, the Pointer Monarch came to realize just how peerless the Black-Winged Monarch’s Wings of Inception were. It was just that there was no certainty whether this kind of complete spirit-form weapon would ever be completed. After all, even the Black-Winged Monarch wasn’t able to finish it back then.

The Pointer Monarch had always been proud and arrogant. How could he be resigned after the utter failure with the refinement? After seeing an exceptional raw material that was the Earth Dragon’s remains, he immediately felt hopeful about forging a different path to compete against Andruil.

Such a material was beyond rare—the Pointer Monarch wracked his brains and finally decided to forge a giant airship, the likes of which the empire had never seen before. His design was unique since he wanted to use the dragon’s skeleton as the ship’s framework and its heart as the main font of energy. This would allow the Earth Dragon’s flesh to grow in a set pattern and form the warship’s foundations. He would then build all kinds of weaponry on the flesh.

This warship, once built, would be a flying city of boundless might. The inexhaustible supply of power from the Earth Dragon energy source would be able to support a great number of weapons. The resultant vessel would far surpass any mothership or battleship, so much so that it could implement super-powerful weapons that had only ever existed in theory.

Such a warship could not only rampage across the empire but would also be able to suppress every known Evernight vessel. Perhaps only the airships of those characters on the sacred mountains would be able to contend with it. Among the three supreme existences of the sacred mountains, only the arachne had revealed his airship occasionally. The others’ vessels had never been seen before, so there was no way to compare."

It was just that Elder Wei and the others had never imagined that the monarch’s will had already evolved into an independent entity with its own thought processes. If it wasn’t for a lack of a body, the will would’ve become another Pointer Monarch.

These Blood Altars were useless against such a consciousness. The only reason it had allowed Elder Wei and the others to ascend the mountain was because of Qianye. Naturally, there was nothing more to discuss if Qianye couldn’t last until the summit; he just had to wait a couple hundred more years. The Pointer Monarch had buried his heart there in the past, with no intention of allowing the Martyr’s Palace to see the light of day.
