Oracle Text
Still Point in Time — All spells have split second. (As long as a spell with split second is on the stack, players can't cast spells or activate abilities that aren't mana abilities.) Whenever chaos ensues, Lake Silencio deals 6 damage to target creature an opponent controls. If a creature dealt damage this way would die this turn, exile it instead.

Split second doesn't stop triggered abilities from triggering, such as that of Chalice of the Void. If one does, its controller puts it on the stack and chooses targets for it, if any. Those abilities will resolve as normal.
