Single word equivalents are dangerous in Latin because the ending changes according to the context.
Neverending is aeternus, aeterna, aeternum
Death is mors, mortis
life is vita, vitae
the chose one is electus, electi
but each word can have half a dozen other endings according to its function in a phrase or sentence.
Nefandus is a good Latin word. It means literally "that which is not to be spoken about" i.e. usually a horrendous crime or blasphemy of some sort.

how would you combine neverending and death, so it would mean neverending death
also neverending life?

oh!

and eternal life/eternal death?

forgot to add that part

It's not really possible to make a distinction between "never-ending' and "eternal" - for both the most appropriate Latin word is aeternus/-a/-um.
'immortalis' can be used for that which cannot die...

vita aeterna
mors aeterna
