Though not as fast as the sound barrier-breaking level of "Destruction," his swift pace allowed him to quickly close in within a thousand meters of the giant dragon.

"Stranger from afar, what compels you to explore this forbidden realm? With your strength, you must understand the significance of this taboo. Go back! This is not a place for you," said the man on the black dragon, presumably King Gobatar, speaking sternly to Zheng from a kilometer away.
Zheng, choosing not to respond, feared triggering the plot and starting the mission to annihilate the capital. So he simply ignored King Gobatar's questions and focused on the protective layer, contemplating how to break through it.
