King Yu was unable to slice his body, destroy his soul, or extinguish his True Spirit, and could only seal the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon.
However, given the Nine-horned Desolate Dragon's immense strength that reached the heavens, even though it was sealed at the heart of the Nine States and completely cut off from the outside world, it could still autonomously create Innate Spiritual Energy to compensate for its own consumption.
