Is nirvana the end of journey?
In buddhism, when a person reaches the state of nirvana, does that mean he is ONE with Source with universe, does that mean it's the end of karmic wheel, and then it's the final state?
If not, what will happen after that?
and, Is there an end to the journey, or never an end?

That is a state more open to positive objective state.The journey is still far as I know and never an end.

There are two types of Nirvana Starnight.
Nirvana in this lifetime and nirvana after death ( paranirvana ). Nirvana in this lifetime - physical life continues but the mind is free from negative mental states. Nirvana after death - no further rebirth.

what will happen after the paranirvana?
this is what i m really curious...
will they become ascended masters, angels , or spirit guides, even if they no longer have rebirth?
or will they just be ONE with Source, just pure energy....
or many other possiblities....
what will they be and do?

In my current mind ,perhaps Buddhism is the natural process of all existence ( living or non-living ) travelling naturally back into original state of nothingness .........the original state is end and the beginning of existence .......not just the end .

Different Schools of Buddhism have different interpretations regarding Parinirvana. The above link might help you understand , it is a little complicated

Someone needs to catalog all the variations of the practically-identical doctrine found in most religions and spiritual philosophies, for the purpose of creating a unified world philosophy for all humanity. It would put an end to all wars and personal arguments, overnight.
Reaching nirvana is the same as self-enlightenment, is the same as higher self, is the same as Holy Spirit, is the same as... etc. And yes, most philosophies: 1. See this as the path of release (being saved, fully-realized, etc.) from the wheel of incarnation; and 2. Also see it as the springboard to other planes of spirit reality, to continued and never-ending spirit growth.

This is a very good question!
Because I read the book, " The Disappearance of the Universe"...what I gathered was here were 2 humans
that led many lives...but then when they lived their last one ( we won't talk, here, how they accomplished that)
they became what we would call Ascended Masters...they even came 'here'
to have this book written to help people.
http://www.garyrenard.com/Preview.htm
They were able to appear to this guy Gary Renard and disappear and a few xs instantly transport him to
another city and back...(child's play to them)
See, they understood, as Jesus did, what this place was all about and how it worked...thus, him walking on water and all.
They not only knew this was all a dream...they were 'outta the dream'....way out...
They explained many things, too many to say here.
My understanding, as Krishna said in the Gita somewhere..we keep our individualization.
On the Other side we have decisions according to our wisdom or soul growth....
if we have become aligned with our Source or Reality....would you want to be a spirit guide following around a human?
Not me.
My understanding we remain in love and remain serving as an individual in different capacities suited to our understanding...
not becoming some blob melted back into the Godhead like
the metal droplet absorbed by a Terminator.
But, what do I know...this is according to all the reading I have done.
And it rings true to me.
Afterall, Paramahansa and Yukteswar and Jesus didn't 'disappear into the Light'
never to be seen again...they are alive and well serving the Divine still.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
