particles with mass asymptotically approach the speed of light, never reaching it, as the energy to accelerate the particle increases to infinity. Light does not have mass. seems like there is an upper limit to temperature this is a very perseptive question. My intuition tells me, the answer to this question lies in the physics of fission. As the temperature of matter increases beyond a certain point, it would destabilize the forces required to hold the nucleus together. At that point, the nucleus would fly apart resulting in a release of energy, sub-atomic particles, and/or smaller nuclei.
