Soul’s ending in torment, after life of this? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ungodliness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'life of this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'soul's ending in torment' is the wordplay.
'in torment' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'souls'+'ending'='soulsending'
'soulsending' with letters rearranged gives 'UNGODLINESS'.

'after' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ungodliness that I've seen is " Irreligious behaviour".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
