indestructibility

Cannot be destroyed

Indestructibility is the quality of being impossible to destroy.

The term applies literally to materials that resist damage—the indestructibility of diamonds—and figuratively to things that endure despite challenges: the indestructibility of the human spirit, the apparent indestructibility of their friendship.

Often used hyperbolically for remarkable durability.
