From afar, Ye Qifeng gazed at the city wall towering a hundred meters high and noticed that it had been built from countless massive slabs of hard granite.
Beneath the fluttering banners atop the wall, one could easily see three enormous words engraved upon it: "Heaven Dou City."
Heaven Dou City was the Imperial City of the Heaven Dou Empire—the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital.
Located slightly northeast of the center of the Heaven Dou Empire, it was the political core of the entire empire and one of the two largest and most prosperous cities on the Douluo Continent.
On the Douluo Continent, only Star Luo City, the Imperial City of the Star Luo Empire, could rival it.
At the base of the towering city wall stood three gates.
The largest central gate was estimated to be around ten meters tall and ten meters wide, enough for six riders to pass abreast. It was tightly shut at the moment and had not been opened.
Two words were carved above it: "East Gate," indicating that it was Heaven Dou City's East City Gate.
The two gates beside the large one were side gates, each five meters in height and width.
Travelers entering or leaving Heaven Dou City could only pass through those side gates.
Both atop and below the city wall, Imperial City knights clad in golden armor patrolled and stood guard.
From them, Ye Qifeng could clearly sense a grim, murderous aura. Their bearing was sharp and formidable.
Among all the City Guards he had encountered during his more than a year of travels, these could be considered the most elite.
"Sister Er Long, we're about to enter the city."
Ye Qifeng withdrew his gaze from Heaven Dou City's walls, lowered his head to look at Liu Erlong, and spoke gently.
