At a depth of 10,000 meters—where light never reaches and pressure could crush a submarine—a Chinese team has made an astonishing discovery: entire colonies of life thriving in conditions once thought utterly impossible.

@Yogthos There is also life on Venus at that temperature 462°С.

This is only a small part of what we can reach, but in general, the entire universe is inhabited by life; it's just that with our limited senses, most of this life cannot be detected.
@kuchinster from what I understand potential life on Venus actually exists in the upper cloud layer where temperature is closer to what it is here.
Of course, i do think it's possible for the same underlying processes to be expressed in a different substrate. Carbon based life is just what we're familiar with. And carbon happens to be one of the most abundant elements having useful properties in terms of how it creates bonds.
