SVG font seems to be the right choice here because it uses XML. However it has been deprecated everywhere.
So is there an alternative (or an alternative format) for representing a long text which use ~70,000 glyphs. (the current font I’m interested in is currently in the ps format and installed on my system).
Or is it possible to make a single font family for storing multiple range of glyphs?
Please note there are other limitations that answers to this question might solve.

I have not tried this myself, but you should be able to use two (or more) fonts, one that contained part of the glyphs, and another one with the rest.
So say you have FontA which has characters 1-30,000, and FontB, which has 30,001 to 70,000
You specify in your css a font stack:
body{
font-family: FontA, FontB, sans-serif;
}
And if a character is not found in FontA it will be set in FontB
(source)
You can be even more specific and use the unicode-range css property to define what characters should come from which font.
